U.S. Ships in Persian Gulf
- Share via
We know Iran doesn’t want us in the Persian Gulf. Not only are we there, but we’re reflagging the Kuwaiti tankers alone. We get less than 7% of our oil from the gulf region. Now it seems we are not getting much assistance there on minesweeping operations . . . so we have our men hanging over the bows of the ships. Hopefully they can see underneath the water for submerged mines! So now a reflagged tanker hits a mine and we’re upset!
What did they think we’d get--a standing ovation?
